Hypertriglyceridemia Cause and Symptoms
The level of triglycerides in our blood usually increases with age, but risk factors that increase the likelihood of the triglyceride level becoming too high include the following: Lifestyle:
Overweight or obesity Excess alcohol intake Lack of physical activity Inherited disorders Pregnancy Type 2 diabetes Metabolic syndrome
Medications:
Thiazide diuretics Beta-blockers Protease inhibitors for HIV Some cholesterol-lowering drugs Estrogen therapy Isotretinoin for acne Immunosuppressants Corticosteroids Some antipsychotics
The most common reasons for hypertriglyceridemia developing are obesity, lack of physical activity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and familial hyperlipidemia, a genetic condition that causes high triglycerides and low levels of the “good” cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein).
